Merry & Bright!
LOVED this backless sparkly dress for our annual Christmas party. Got complements all night. It was comfy and sexy at the same time.
Marais Sequin Mini Dress
For Love and Lemons
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 170lbs
Bust: 38B
Sophisticated & fun - like wearing a painting.
Love all of this! The print is beautiful and stood out at a black tie summer gala. Love the high one shoulder top - fits great across bust with layered material effect. Dress was fitted but flowy. LOVE!
Purple Orchid Gown
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 10L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 170lbs
Bust: 38B
Professional & flattering for work presentation.
Great stretch, beautiful fabric, love the tea length (I'm 5'10"). Sleeves are a little tight but it's ok. Overall worth it.
Brose Roll Neck Dress
Temperley London
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 10

Bust: 38B
Fierce with ruffles!
I wish I owned this dress! I wore it to a work function and got a ton of compliments. The quality is tops (thick/stretchy) and it's super comfortable. The ruffle sleeves are a fabulous compliment to the severity of the look which is punctuated by the length. Hard not to own the room among suits and suit dresses in this one.
Katelyn Dress

Bust: 38B
Unique LBD. Fun sleeves, short dress if you're tall.
I loved the look of this dress and only gave it 4 stars bc I'm 5'10" and had to keep hiking it down during the night. Love the turtle neck combo with the ruffled shoulder cut-outs. Wore it to AC and added tights to counter the short length.
Black Azha Dress
AQ/AQ
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 0
Classy and sexy.
All around a great dress. I didn't give it 5 stars bc it bunched a little in the lower back bc the skirt rode up a bit. I had to keep pulling it down. Loved the cut outs and ruffle cuffed sleeves. Flattering fit.
Black Bell Sleeve Illusion Sheath

Comfy color pop!
This is the first romper I've been able to pull off. The flaps make a flattering, modern statement and the color is phenomenal. I wore this for a birthday night out and it was great. I got a ton of compliments and it was comfy dancing.
Hot Pink Sail Away Romper
Laundry by Shelli Segal
Size Worn: 10

Perfect hostess dress for silver and gold Xmas party.
Super fun party dress! I don't normally do all sequins but I took a risk with this dress and it paid off. The quality is incredible and it photographs really well. I got a ton of compliments all night. Beware that it is very short (I'm 5'10") and rides up even shorter with dancing and movement. It's a tight but comfy/true to size fit. I wore a large and am a size 10...I'm not sure it would work on someone larger.

Classy/sexy - perfect for work awards dinner.
Perfect fit. Love the lace overlay. The blue color is vibrant. Forgot to take picture. Highly recommend.
Black and Blue Floral Lace Dress
Shoshanna
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 10"
Bust: 38B
Classic choice - great fit & color.
Not going to be the star of the show but it's a solid choice for a fall work event. Loved the color and it fit great. I thought the skin showing through the lace would show more of a visible contrast but I still liked it.
Lace me in Teal Dress
ML Monique Lhuillier
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 10"
Bust: 38B
Tough cut up top.
I didn't end up wearing this dress. In the end it would be better for a work event versus a wedding but either way, the neckline was strangling me on both sizes - maybe it's just me. I really do love the look of it but it didn't work for me.
Purple Ruffle Flute Dress
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 10"
Bust: 38B
Sexy and sophisticated.
Fits like a glove. Got a ton of compliments. Love the sheer paneling and the top. Felt great. Obviously you have to wear a strapless bra and I had to adjust regularly to make sure the bra wasn't showing below the bust material but I have a long torso (or maybe I need a new strapless bra). Would definitely rent again. One of my faves!
Black Illusion Trumpet Dress
Nicole Miller
Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 10"
Bust: 38B
Hugs the curves!
Yes, this dress is tight but true to size. The colors and pattern are eye popping and distract from any "problem areas". It feels like a scuba suit which is great for dancing if it's hot and sweaty. I did have to yank it down during the night but got sooooo many complements. Loved this rental for my bff's surprise 40th!
Garden Plaid Sheath
Clover Canyon
Size Worn: L

Ultimate classy showstopping party dress.
I'm not a gifted writer. I can't possibly express how this dress felt and made me feel. It was super fun and vibrant. Great fit for tall athletic build. Full skirt is very comfortable on lower body if you are extra curvy down there. The colors are rich and the material is like a beautiful heavy summer linen. Obviously it's an attention grabber so you have to be comfortable with that. And for wider girls you also have to be comfortable with the fact that the skirt spreads out quite a bit. Highly recommend. I may have shed a tear when I put it in the UPS drop box :-).
Aqua Crisp Bloom Dress
MARCOBOLOGNA
Size Worn: 48
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 10"
Bust: 38B
The fit! It was made just for me (and my fellow tall/athletic build girls).
This was my most expensive rental to date and worth every dollar. The fit was perfect and the material is beautiful, high quality and slightly stretchy. I'm a solid size 10 and while able to zip the 10, I ended up wearing the 12 bc it hung better. The cut outs are very classy and my nude racer back bra worked well. I got sooooo many complements. The dress is longer in the back which is gorgeous but definitely something to contend with whilst dancing. Love love love this dress!

Gorg!
Can't go wrong with this bangle and don't need much else bc it pops so much.
Gold Dome Bangle

Classic show stopper!
Love this dress. Beautiful rich color and fabric. I am a solid size 10 and while the 10 zipped it was too snug. The 12 was still snug but a little more comfy. The length was right to the knee which was so classy. I got a ton of complements all night and felt great. I wore and recommend a strapless bra slip underneath for some extra smoothing. Would definitely rent this again.

Potato sack on curvy girl
I think if you are slim and more straight bodied this could work for you. My issue was that I had to go up in size for it to even fit over my hips and then it didn't hang right. It wasn't flattering on me.
Purity Flower Sheath
HALSTON
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 10"

Great for AC
I had to go up a size and it was still tight but it was a fun dress and the lace really accents the curves.
Shelby Dress
ERIN erin fetherston
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 10"
Bust: 38B
Not for curvy girls
So yes, it's super tight but I expected that. My issue was the way that the shapes of lace stretch out over my hips and bust was not flattering. The first thing your eyes go to is the image the shapes and not the dress as a whole. I think really slim girls can pull this off.
Webbed Sheath
RVN
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 10"
Bust: 38B
Risk paid off!
I chose this for my 40th "surprise" party. I wanted to say goodbye to my 30's with a trendy classy bang and this was it! I got a ton of compliments all night. The print is super fun. The material is great. It's like a very hearty stretchy sweater material. I love the cute flair on the skirt and long sleeves which offset the exposed midriff to bring it together as a sophisticated look. The fit is tight but it worked for me.
Luthor Skirt
RVN
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 10"
Bust: 38B
Attention grabbing but classy.
Such a fun dress! I don't show my cleavage often at all but decided to go for it for a night in AC. You have to be prepared to be on display because you just are with this dress. It's like a picture frame of your cleavage. The fit is great. Tight but not a suction. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is bc a) you need another person to get the side zip up bc it has trouble going over the satin material and b) it does ride up a bit. All in - so glad I rented it. Highly recommend!

I bought this on sale at RTR for a friend and she loves it. Petite wrists required.

Stunning but kept falling.
I really loved the idea of this dress but don't recommend it for a night of dancing. The material is very heavy and I kept having to hike it up all night. You also need perky boobs to make this work (mine are less so after two kids) bc there is no way to wear a bra. If you are going to be standing around mingling all night this could work.

Super flattering. Great color.
I wish I owned this dress. I wore it out in AC but I think it could be used for many functions. The belt it comes with is useless as far as I'm concerned (it didn't snap but you don't need it). I paired it with leopard heels and gold accessories and got a ton of compliments. As for the size, it does run a touch big.

So cool but too small.
I think one needs very petite wrists to make this work. I wish I could have worn it.

Great summer AC night dress!
This dress is very fitted but the high quality material and cool neckline make the whole thing work. It's stretchy but keeps its shape. I loved the natural color bc it causes a double take by others. Really comfy to dance in and I highly recommend.

Short, tight and serious cleavage combo was too much for me.
The quality is gorgeous and the body of the dress feels great on. My issue was that the deep v in the front is a huge challenge. It was very low but also very wide. Any bra I wore showed in the front. Braless is an option but showed a lot of skin and I was afraid of a wardrobe malfunction while dancing. I didn't end up wearing it.
